Episode 12 - Abhay Nayampally

On the 12th episode of The Indoencers Podcast, I spoke with Abhay Nayampally - an incredible Carnatic guitarist and independent musician, who is a disciple of the legendary Shri Mandolin Srinivas. We spoke about his unusual emotional attachment to music as a child, a life-changing lunch break on a park bench, the evolution of Carnatic music, among tons of other topics. There's also a lovely Charukesi aalaap to check out towards the end :) We hope everybody enjoys this episode!
